In 1983, Motorola introduced the world's first generation of mobile phones, and today, smartphones have become almost a necessity in our lives. Like other products, mobile phones are constantly improving, but not every change will satisfy us.
Judging from the feedback of netizens, our more satisfactory improvement should be screen size, performance, screen ratio, etc., and the most dissatisfied change should be to cut the 3.5mm headphone hole. Although the sales of TWS headphones are getting higher and higher, which can already make up for the problem caused by the lack of 3.5mm headphone holes, there are still many users who are dissatisfied with this.
In addition, there are some people who insist that LCD is never a slave, some people think that the alien screen is extremely evil, some people feel that the screen fingerprint is far less useful than the physical fingerprint, it seems that it is difficult to have such a device, which can make everyone satisfied.
So what should the perfect phone look like? True full screen, 3.5mm headphone jack, high-end LCD screen, Type-C port, and A15 bionic processor + Apple smart ecology? At a glance, if there is a mobile phone to collect these configurations, it will definitely sell out, but is there really such a mobile phone?
You don't have to say that there are really people who have come out.
Is it the perfect iPhone?
Recently, the B station digital blogger @ Io Technology has created an iPhone MIX 2.0 that meets the above requirements, the phone is based on the iPhone SE3 for transformation, removing the forehead and chin, the body size is smaller than the iPhone 13 mini, the three-sided border is extremely narrow, only the chin is slightly larger, and the weight of the mobile phone is less than 120g.
After the blogger's transformation, the iPhone MIX 2.0 uses a 3.5mm headphone jack and a Type-C charging port, and the original fingerprint unlock module of the iPhone SE3 is moved to the back and embedded in the matrix camera frame, and the original camera, distance sensor, flash and other configurations of the iPhone SE3 form a similar arrangement of the iPhone 13 Pro Max triple camera combination.
In fact, earlier on the Ku'an platform, some people also transformed the Xiaomi Mi 6 into a similar look, but that kind of modification was relatively rough, and even directly cut off the front camera. Although some users think that the front camera is not important, but occasionally need to use, limited to the volume problem, @ Io Technology chose the mechanical structure lifting front camera module, you need to use your hand to dial a small card similar to the iPhone mute key, you can achieve lens lifting operation.
Coupled with the powerful A15 bionic processor and Apple's iOS ecology, this iPhone seems to be perfect enough to be a small-screen flagship that is not inferior to the iPhone 13 mini. Even @Io Technology said that when the customized battery cell arrives (now using the battery of the iPhone X, the battery life is average), it will use him as the main machine and give up the heavy iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Although this modified machine is difficult to mass-produce, it is not completely unbought, @ Io Technology said that it has made two colors of mirror black and glossy white, and also made a limited customized version for B station users. In the future, Io Technology will build more as soon as possible, send them to other digital bloggers for evaluation, and prepare to sell.
Seemingly perfect, iPhone MIX 2.0 actually has many problems, after all, it is based on the iPhone SE3 to build, in addition to the A15, it can be said that there are many problems, such as camera modules, motherboards, screens, etc.
What's more, its screen is too small, and today, when the screen size is generally at 6.5 inches, the iPhone SE3's 4.7 inches is really not very qualified. Not to mention the stereoscopic double yang, telephoto and other configurations that we often use, the iPhone SE3 does not have any, and the iPhone MIX 2.0 naturally does not have.
The perfect phone, will there be?
Everyone's needs for mobile phones are different, such as screen quality, some people like 2K 120Hz and brightly colored AMOLED screen, and some people like DC dimming LCD screen without strobe. But in fact, the configuration is full, and the mobile phone that can meet some of all the needs is not unmade, but only depends on whether the manufacturer is willing.
Think about those configurations we need, the 3.5mm headphone jack + IP68 waterproof, Sony phones did it. Under the screen camera, Xiaomi, Nubia have, fast charging is not to mention, some manufacturers of new models charging power up to 150W, there are 20 times hybrid optical zoom, 5000mAh ± battery, ultra-fast wireless charging, ultrasonic fingerprint, symmetrical dual speakers and other configurations, some of which are indeed rare, but there are manufacturers can do it.
After all, this is the 21st century, economic globalization, all mobile phone manufacturers are inseparable from the demand for supply chain, the technology they need, most of the supply chain can also provide, if there is now a manufacturer to stand up to integrate the supply chain, the launch of a new machine with a full configuration, Xiao Lei will not feel strange at all.
Since the perfect mobile phone can be built, why don't manufacturers do it? The reason is obvious, because the price will be particularly expensive, such as the mobile phone P40 Pro+ that supports 20x hybrid optical zoom, the initial price is as high as 7998 yuan, if you add other configurations, the price will definitely be ridiculously high.
This is still using Kirin chip + Android/HarmonyOS, if it is produced by Apple, then the price is really expensive to the sky. The digital blogger modified iPhone, ready to sell, has not yet announced the price, but the iPhone SE3 first price is as high as 3499 yuan, modified to pay so much manpower and material resources, should not be lower than the iPhone 13, so why not buy an iPhone 13? Just for the Type-C port and 3.5mm headphone jack?
Perfect phone was not released, the price is the main reason, there is no product that consumers do not want to buy, only the price that we cannot accept. Of course, imperfect mobile phones do not matter, when Liu Haiping appeared, some people said to resolutely resist Liu Haiping, when the digging screen appeared, some people said that it was better than the water drop screen, and the result was not that we slowly accepted?
Accept that the phone is not perfect, but please Apple conscience a little
Imperfect products we can accept, but the iPhone SE series seems to have been challenging the bottom line of consumers, before the release of the iPhone SE3, including Guo Mingxi, many analysts and media believe that the iPhone SE3 annual sales of up to 25 million to 30 million, but recently have changed their views, the sales expectations have been reduced to 15 million to 20 million.
The iPhone SE3 is also a mobile phone of more than 3,000 yuan, in addition to using A15, there seems to be no desirable point, large forehead, large chin, completely unlike the 2022 mobile phone. More critically, now the thousand-yuan machine is generally a triple camera start, but the iPhone SE3 does not even have an ultra-wide-angle lens.
Not only the iPhone SE series, other iPhone 12/13 series have not been perfect, such as the 120Hz refresh rate commonly used in Android flagships, which we can only see in the iPhone 13 Pro series. It is precisely because of Apple's "lack of conscience" behavior that it frequently stimulates users, and many digital enthusiasts with strong hands-on ability in all parts of the world choose to modify their own iPhones.
Of course, this kind of modified iPhone can be sold, but it will certainly not be mass-produced, even if it is for daily use, it is more suitable for enthusiasts. Users' high voice for this phone is mostly because Apple does not want to make progress, long-term eating of the old, especially the appearance, from the iPhone X so far has not changed significantly. As a giant, or even a leader, in the mobile phone industry, Apple's actions in recent years have disappointed users too much.
It seems that consumers are getting more and more sober, iPhone SE2 has been fooled once, iPhone SE3 heat is obviously not good, and even said that not long after the sale, the Pinduoduo platform has been reduced by about 700 yuan. The profit of the iPhone is already so high, Apple can't be a little more conscientious, make an imperfect mobile phone, at least let us see the sincerity, right?
